Kolo Toure has spoken about staying with Arsenal till the end of his career. He has been a fantastic player for us and apart from a little loss of form during last season, he is still one of the best centre backsw in the world today.

“When I put the shirt on it means a lot of things for me. I will be so glad to finish my career here. At the moment everything is going well.

“We had a great season and played some fantastic games, but we went away without any trophies – and that’s a big, big thing for us.

“The team are still really strong, the club are still really strong and the manager is doing a great job.”

At 27 he is at what may be the peak of his career, and with his pace and skill he will surely be an Arsenal legend when he retires.
